SNL: Rahm Emanuel apologizes for using the word "retarded". Well kinda.



You know I think Andy Samberg should have been paid $100,000 for telling Sarah Palin off on national television. That was beautiful!

  9. I learned to cuss when I worked for the US Post Office in the early 70's. I wonder if Rahm ever worked there. It was the best job and the worst place to work.

    Andy Samberg probably was paid $100,000 for the joke, when you consider how much he'll make in syndication and reruns.

  11. Loved the "What are you, 14 years old???"
    remark.

    I'm sure Sarah is convinced Rahm Emanuel is not a real american.

    yeah I've watched that several times! andy samberg is one talented dude. I bet he gets a nice box of chocolates from rahm. I agree gryphen that he should be paid some serious dough for saying what needed to be said.

    "you fucking harpy!" omg it was just perfect.

  14. Is it legal to be having this much fun?!?! (I suppose it is until the courts tell us it isn't.)

    Well, for as long as it lasts, thank you ever so, $carah O'Paylin.

  15. That was such a joy to watch.

    I'll bet he enjoyed doing it.

    I hope Rahm watched it and enjoyed it too. I'll bet it's the talk of the White House staff on Monday morning.

  16. Wonderful skit. First of all, because it was a great --and well deserved--critique of Emanuel. And secondly, because it was an absolute skewering (also well-deserved) of Palin.

    This is what smart commentary looks like.

    Half a politician! A *&^%ing HARPY! A quitter who couldn't finish dinner! Oh...I wish I had this on a loop.......

  18. For some absolutely hysterical Rahm-like swearing - and with a Scottish accent - rent a movie called "In the Loop". One of the main characters - Peter Caputo - looks exactly like Rahm, but also swears just like him.

    Hilarious, absolutely hilarious. Very refreshing after all of the incredibly painful-to-watch Palin videos.

    Well, it certainly did change a lot. People are back to work; the deficit has managed to shrink a few billion since this bit; Emanual comes off as a grievously, misunderstood, articulalte, and persecuted brilliant foot soldier for Obama, and I suppose we'll soon be seeing Palin has taken a major hit in the polls while the President's have miraculously skyrocketed.

    I have to admit the reference to facebook was funny
    but it wasn't in the same league as his sending a dead fish to a political opponent.

    And for what it's worth the bottom line hasn't changed. Palin got him in her crosshairs and he was
    forced to go national with an apology.

    Now THAT's cathartic.

  21. You realize Sarah is going to poop kittens, right?

    I'm watching the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. Pedigree is a sponsor and they have this commercial about the dog food promoting optimum stool production. So the little chihuahua says he's not just a pooper, he's an optimum one.

    And I keep thinking of Sarah and kittens and being an optimum pooper.

    Please.....let Tina Fey appear as Sarah Palin on SNL just one last time. With writing on her hand. Just 30 seconds for the intro. Showing us her palm "Live from New York, It's Saturday Night." She wouldn't have to say a thing. Just stand there and show us her palm. Please. Pretty please.
